Hi all!
I've just made a clean cooker installation on my home-pc. Many things have
been adjusted as I can see! Well, that's my bug-report...
--- DURING INTALLATION ---
1.
Possibility to use or not to use SuperMount
2.
Possibility to boot from raid-1 software should be possible building an
initrd.img with "--proload raid1" option and passing lilo the axact number of
cyl/head/sect of each hd
3.
Installer now let me make Raid partition, let me install on it but I get
"kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:00" when booting-up.
4.
PINE: not found between packages and not installed in 2.200 MB!!! I had to
install it by hand later...
5.
Installer report WRONG cyl/head/sect fot primary-master hd. I may solve it
passing "hda=xx,xx,xx" to lilo while booting up. Should be a kernel problem
with VIA chipset anyway...
6.
kde-i18n-xx isn't installed by defaul (neither ispell-xx, aspell-xx)
7.
locales, on the other side, is too installed:
[claudio@monster claudio]$ rpm -qa |grep locales
locales-2.3.1-7mdk
locales-it-2.3.1-7mdk
locales-he-2.3.1-7mdk
locales-th-2.3.1-7mdk
locales-zh-2.3.1-7mdk
locales-ko-2.3.1-7mdk
locales-ar-2.3.1-7mdk
[claudio@monster claudio]$
8.
Cannot finish MODEM configuration during install: clicking "OK" just do
nothing. It's OK for my ethernet card anyway...
9.
Hard-disk is not unmounted after installation process, so "check forced" is
runned at first startup.
10.
While booting-up a FAILED message appears:
cannot write /etc/X11/gdm/session/KDE [FAILED]
11.
Some problems with environment variables, like PATH:
[claudio@monster claudio]$ ls
bash: ls: command not found
[claudio@monster claudio]$ rpm
bash: rpm: command not found
[claudio@monster claudio]$ export PATH=$PATH:/bin
[claudio@monster claudio]$
[claudio@monster claudio]$ rpm -qa |grep netscape
netscape-communicator-4.76-2mdk
netscape-common-4.76-2mdk
[claudio@monster claudio]$ rm nothing.null
rm: impossibile rimuovere `nothing.null': File o directory inesistente
[claudio@monster claudio]$
12.
Still KDE use antialias by default!!! Please, recompile RPM with this option
off!!!
13.
Missing WindowMaker, Xfce...
Now, I'm gonna use the beta and will let you know some other problems. Anyway
things seem to get better and better each day! ;o))
Bye, Claudio
